Sportsbook Terminology and Sportsbook Bet Type

PointSpread

Moneyline

This word refers to the opportunity for the team to win the match directly without using dots. Usually indicated by a 3 digit number like -150. In simpler terms, if there is (-), then the player must pay the amount to win 10000RP. If it is ( ) then the player wins that amount for every 10000RP at stake.

Bet Type You Could Find on Sportsbook

Straight Bet

This is a single bet on a match or game that will be determined by a spread point or money line, the term we discussed earlier.

Parlay

This is a single bet but combines two or more bets. Because this type of bet is "all or nothing at all". By losing only one of the bets that are joined, you will lose all your bets, but if you win, your results are higher than separately placing bets.

Futures

These are bets placed for an event or example that will occur far in the future. Usually, this bet is for things like championship participants, or who will qualify for the playoffs.

Proposition

Prop bets are also known as bets that focused more on events that occur in the game. This can be seen in many games such as soccer, basketball and the like because it applies to this sport. Examples of prop bets are; which team will get the first score? Which player will score the most? Which team will have more turnaround.

Teaser

A type of bet in basketball where the point spread is adjusted for players who support more than one match. In this example, 4,4,5, and 5 Teaser points are offered. However, it should be noted that it can reduce your payment because it can increase your chances of winning.
